Great explanation @peachfuzz :+1: :ok_hand: :v: ā€¦

@Mr.Chrontini, you are not in the same boat as Chow. Your soil is more acidic than Chow. Chow as a nearly perfect pH soil now. peachfuzz give a great answer, you even can have some bugs in a batch of soil and, from the same compagny but from another batch, you wonā€™t.

As for my sources, the chart come from here ILGM forum, there is a topic called charts and graphs, you should take a look, itā€™s very informative :grinning: Charts and graphs, and from my numburous years of gardening and study.

Hoping thatā€™s gone a help you,

~Al :v: :innocent:

Thanks for the help!! Here is an issue Iā€™m having nowā€¦

What is the strain and type(unknown bag seed, strain name, regular seeds, feminized seeds, auto-flower, etc)? Unknow bag seed

Indoor or Outdoor? If outdoor, planted in ground or in a container? Indoor

Size of space (max height and area, length/width)? 1.2mx1.2mx2m

Soil or Hydro? Type of Medium used? System type?
Soil

pH? Of the soil or medium (root zone/reservoir/run-off) and of the water and/or nutrient mix that is fed to the plant?
6.3-6.6

Type and strength of nutrients used? NPK? EC/TDS/PPM levels? Of what you feed it as well as what is in the water by itself and in the soil/medium (run-off), or reservoir.
using classic canna veg a and b at half strength only

Temperature? Day vs. night temp or highest and lowest temps? Root zone temps? max 28c min 21c

Humidity %? Day vs. night 55 max 45 min

Light system/watts/lumens/FLUX/PAR? 600w hps and a t8 4 foot fluro

Ventilation system? Size? CFM? CO2? AC, Humidifier, De-humidifier? Have 2 fans one before and one after the light with carbon filter and 2 clipper fan, not sure on the sizes of them

Number ā€œweeks/daysā€ from into Season, Vegetative Growth or Bloom/flowering? Plants are about 8 weeks in veg but first 6 week only were on a friends window sil only been under light at 18/6 for 2 weeks

the bigger one of the two was taking off great but now the top leaves have started to look a bit droopy and crisp so i moved the light up higher,i think i over watered her last week so i left her for a few days and have only been watering every 2nd or 3rd day also moved her a bigger pot this morning and watered heavily. roots were looking awesome!
the little one was going slow but after i fed her some nutes her top leaves got big and green the next day.
germinated another seed 8 days ago and is looking good

but my concern is the biggest one could someone tell me whats going on with it?

@peachfuzz @Nug-bug @Niala @Myfriendis410 any help would ne greatly appreciated :slight_smile:

@Chow My Fellow Cultivator You Are Overwatering Your Lil ladyā€¦ :wink:
It looks like a 1 gallon pot , which is fineā€¦ but you must let her dry outā€¦ :wink:
If you donā€™t , you can expect bug problems , pH issues , nutrient lock out and all sorts of other thingsā€¦ :wink:
Fill out a support ticket to get a better over all diagnosis of the problemā€¦ :wink:
But in the mean time just water when she needs itā€¦ maybe every 2 or 3 daysā€¦
Fill a same size pot with dry soil and feel the differenceā€¦
Water when your baby needs itā€¦ :wink:

@peachfuzz Iā€™m asking because Iā€™ve never done and Iā€™m guessing these are photos but Iā€™ve never grown in a 1 gallon pot is it possible without getting root bound ?

I thought might be the case i was watering nearly everyday before because when i went a knuckle deep in the soil it was dry but this was before i knew the temperature in the tent and it was way too hot but its good now so i only water every 3 days or so,
I filled out a ticket above the photos :slight_smile:

But will let em all dry out more, cheers for that

@Chow, watering cycle really ought to be water to runoff with ph 6.5 water and donā€™t water until the plant is about to start drooping. This allows the plant to push roots out looking for water and helps prevent other problems as @peachfuzz stated. This is the main reason we transplant multiple times so that we achieve a frequent wet to dry cycle.

Simply put: donā€™t love them to death.

Will do thanks! :slight_smile:

Yes you canā€¦ :wink:
Iā€™ve ran from start to finish with pots that were just a little bigger than a solo cup with air pruning holes up the side to keep the roots healthyā€¦ :wink:
There were 20 clones from a lemon haze plant in a water heater tray that was 2 1/2 foot by 2 1/2 foot ā€¦
After they rooted I vegged them for 3 weeks and cut off all side shoots and threw them into flowerā€¦no toppingā€¦ during transition I continued to cut off any side branches and after 15 weekā€™s in flower I ended up with huge Colas that were over a foot and a half longā€¦ :wink:
In the middle of flower a net had to be added because the buds were to massive for the little potsā€¦ also I was watering and or feeding twice a day sometimesā€¦ you really have to be on top of things when using this methodā€¦ if I were smart , I would have added a self watering system at the timeā€¦ :wink:
That grow was also done under twelve 3500 Kelvin cflā€™s that said they were a 100 watt equivalentā€¦ :wink:
I donā€™t remember how much medicine I got from that runā€¦ but it was an awesome experiment that was totally worth itā€¦ learned alot from that runā€¦ especially when it comes to space and height limitationsā€¦ :wink: @Hogmaster

When you FIM, from what Iā€™ve seen is that the new growth gets twisted, mangled up looking.
Perhaps this is what your seeing?
@Chow

Yeah that would make sense since its only where ive topped it the leaves had started twisting

If you want full effect of scrogg then you need to wait a couple more weeks . When you have filled the screen 75-80% then flip to flower schedule and keep tucking till she startsšŸ˜Ž

Yeah i was thinking about letting them go for another week or 2
